Drei alte Tanten
 (Sung text for setting by G. Bachlund)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die erste alte Tante sprach:
«Wir müssen nun auch dran denken,
Was wir zu ihrem Namenstag
Dem guten Sophiechen schenken.»

Drauf sprach die zweite Tante kühn:
«Ich schlage vor, wir entscheiden
Uns für ein Kleid in Erbsengrün,
Das mag Sophiechen nicht leiden.»

Der dritten Tante war das recht:
«Ja», sprach sie, «mit gelben Ranken!
Ich weiß, sie ärgert sich nicht schlecht
Und muß sich auch noch bedanken.
